COMMERCIAL LAW


Corporate Law


Characteristics related to the legal status of companies distinguish companies from other legal entities, which is why status-related characteristics are of particular importance for the legal position of a company.

The Bobič Law Firm advises its clients in all matters related to company law, including the incorporation of different types of companies, daughter companies, subsidiaries and other types of entities, which are suitable for the performance of an organised business or other activity. We also provide professional legal support in the organisation and implementation of companies’ General Assembly meetings, and represent shareholders and partners in exercising their interests and corporate rights towards the company.

In the field of corporate governance, we advise members of management and supervisory bodies in all matters, which require legal expertise and experience for achieving efficient and effective solutions to problems arising from internal relationships between members of management and supervisory bodies, shareholders and employees.

We provide legal representation to companies, shareholders and members of management and supervisory bodies in all proceedings arising from corporate relationships, such as the contestation of decisions taken by the General Assembly, the liability for damages of the members of management and supervisory bodies, the appointment/recall of members of management and supervisory bodies in court proceedings, the convening of the General Assembly meeting on behalf of the court, concerted action, etc.

We also advise creditors, particularly with respect to the precautionary protection of their interests by instituting different types of securities (fiduciary transfer of property rights (titles) to serve as securities, reservation of title, etc.). In addition, we also represent creditors in insolvency proceedings (registration of claims, arguing and contesting of claims, etc.).

Competition Law


Competition law fosters and protects competition among companies and enables a fair and efficient functioning of the market. However, when performing their activities on the market, companies may find themselves in different positions with respect to competition rules. For instance, a restriction of competition, which constitutes a breach of competition rules, may occur when companies cooperate with one another on the market. A strong market position may allow companies to carry out practices and conducts that constitute the abuse of their dominant position. Market concentration may arise by obtaining and exercising control over another company. Such market concentration must be duly notified to the authority competent for the protection of competition, which examines the case and decides whether market concentration is in line with competition rules.

We advise our clients in all matters related to competition law and represent them before Slovene courts, market regulators (Competition Protection Office of the Republic of Slovenia), the European Commission and EU courts.

Due Diligence


Due diligence represents a foundation for any further commercial or financial procedure undertaken in or by companies. The Bobič Law Firm conducts due diligence exercises in target companies in the mergers and acquisitions (M&A) procedures, recapitalisations and similar transactions, where the establishment of risks and exposures of target companies is of key importance. On the basis of findings revealed by the due diligence process, we advise and cooperate with our clients in subsequent transactions (determining the conditions for an acquisition, defining seller’s commitments, etc.). Our services may be provided to both sellers as well as buyers.
